In making the preparat on, the ingredients may be mixed with liquid ski med milk or whole milk or the like, agitated to insure thorough-solution and then desiccated so that the ingredients are thoroughly disseminated in the resulting finely divided powder. 5

It is to be understood that the above example is given by way of illustration and notlby way of limitation, as the ingredients may be varied to suit the indi dual tastes, it being only necessary to havep esent a sufilcient amount of the deflocculating agent so that the casein in the milk to which the powder ls added, as well as the casein present in the'milk powder will been-- abled to act as a protectiv colioid to prevent the" cocoa from settling. r
